ASSESSED  VALUATION  OF  PROPERTY,  BASIS  OF  ASSESSMENT, 

AND  TAXES  LEVIED:  1910 


[Reprint  of  pages  65  to  68,  87,  and  232  to  247  of  Bureau  of  the  Census  report  of  Financial  Statistics  of  Cities  Having  an  Estimated 

Population  of  Over  30,000  in  1910.] 


The  tables  and  explanatory  text  contained  in  this  pamphlet  are  reprinted  from  the  Bureau  of  the 
Census  report  of  Financial  Statistics  of  Cities  Having  an  Estimated  Population  of  Over  30,000  in  1910,  and 
present  summaries  of  the  assessed  valuation  of  property,  basis  of  assessment,  and  taxes  levied  by  the  cities 
covered  by  the  report  for  the  year  1910.  The  pamphlet  is  prepared  for  those  who  wish  to  use  the  figures  of  the 
tables  apart  from  the  complete  report  of  which  they  form  a  part.  The  attention  of  these  persons,  and  of 
others  who  have  occasion  to  use  the  tables,  is  called  to  the  fact  that  the  percentages  given  in  the  column  of 
Table  29  with  the  heading  “Reported  basis  of  assessment  in  practice,”  although  based  upon  the  statement 
of  local  officials,  in  most  cases  are  larger  than  the  actual  basis.  Persons  having  definite  information  with 
reference  to  the  actual  basis  of  assessment  in  practice  in  their  cities  will  confer  a  favor  by  forwarding  the 
same  to  the  Bureau  of  the  Census,  Division  of  Statistics  of  Cities,  Washington,  D.  C. 


Table  29. 

Assessed  valuation  of  property. — The  valuations  given 
in  Table  29  are  those  of  property  which  is  subject  to 
taxation  for  purposes  of  municipal  government.  In 
certain  states — notably  Pennsylvania — these  differ 
somewhat  from  the  valuations  on  which  state  and 
county  taxes  are  levied.  This  difference  results  largely 
from  the  fact  that  certain  classes  of  property,  especially 
that  of  corporations,  are  in  these  states  subject  to  state 
taxation  only,  so  that  the  valuation  of  such  property 
does  not  appear  in  the  report  of  property  taxed  by  the 
city.  In  some  instances  the  assessed  valuation  of  an 
independent  division  of  the  government  of  a  city,  such 
as  a  school  or  park  district,  or  of  six  counties  in  the 
case  of  cities  of  Group  I,  differs  from  that  of  the  city 
corporation.  These  differences  are  due  to  (1)  differ¬ 
ences  in  the  areas  of  the  city  corporation  and  of  the  in¬ 
dependent  division;  for  example,  the  school  districts  of 
most  Ohio  cities,  the  sanitary  district  of  Chicago,  and 
the  bridge  district  of  Portland,  Me.,  include  territory 
outside  of  the  city  limits,  while  some  school  districts 
include  only  a  portion  of  the  territory  within  the  city; 
(2)  different  bases  of  assessment,  as  in  Dubuque,  Iowa, 
where  the  city  makes  its  own  assessments  of  property 
while  the  school  district  uses  a  totally  different  assess¬ 
ment  made  by  the  county  for  thersame  property;  or  (3) 


differences  in  the  classes  of  property  subject  to  taxa¬ 
tion,  as  in  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  where  the  school  district  taxes 
certain  corporation  franchises  which  are  not  subject  to 
city  taxation.  Where  the  area  of  an  independent  di¬ 
vision  exceeds  that  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  city 
corporation,  it  has  been  found  difficult  to  show  accu¬ 
rately  the  data  pertaining  to  the  city  in  distinction 
from  those  pertaining  to  the  portion  of  the  district  out¬ 
side  the  city.  In  such  cases  the  Bureau  of  the  Census, 
in  making  up  the  report  for  the  government  of  a  city  as 
a  whole,  includes  the  aggregate  figures  for  the  various 
independent  divisions,  unless  the  assessed  valuation  of 
the  independent  division  exceeds  that  of  the  city  cor¬ 
poration  when  computed  on  a  common  basis  by  10  per 
cent  or  more.  In  the  latter  case  the  same  figures  are 
shown  for  the  independent  division  as  for  the  city  cor¬ 
poration.  In  only  two  cities,  however,  Joliet,  Ill.,  and 
Pueblo,  Colo.,  did  the  valuations  of  any  independent 
division  other  than  the  counties  combined  with  the 
cities  of  Group  I,  exceed  that  of  the  cities  by  as  much  as 
10  per  cent;  so  that  for  all  cities,  except  these  two  and 
nine  cities  of  Group  I,  the  total  valuations  and  the  total 
tax  levies  of  all  independent  divisions  have  been  used. 

The  'table  gives  separately  for  the  city  corporation 
and  for  each  independent  division  the  valuations  sub¬ 
ject  to  general  property  taxes  and  those  subject  to 
special  property  taxes.

FINANCIAL  STATISTICS  OF  CITIES. 


The  classification  of  property  belonging  to  railroads, 
telegraph  companies,  and  a  number  of  similar  corpo¬ 
rations,  varies  in  the  different  states;  in  some  states 
such  properties  are  classified  as  real,  in  some  as 
personal,  in  others  as  both  real  and  personal,  and  in 
still  others  are  given  a  separate  classification.  Where 
such  property  is  given  a  separate  classification  and  is 
taxed  for  city  purposes  the  valuat  ion  given  it  is  shown 
in  the  table  under  the  heading  ‘‘Other  property,”  ; 
under  which  are  also  tabulated  those  property  and 
franchise  valuations  of  corporations  for  which  the 
details  secured  were  insufficient  to  supply  data  for  a 
more  complete  tabulation. 

Reported  basis  of  assessment  in  practice. — The 
reported  basis  of  assessment  in  practice  is  for  most 
cities  an  estimate,  furnished  by  city  officials,  of  the 
percentage  which  the  assessed  valuation  of  property 
forms  of  its  true  value.  For  certain  of  the  cities  of 
Minnesota,  Washington,  and  Wisconsin  the  figures  were 
obtained  from  the  state  tax  commissions  and  represent 
approximately  the  proportion  that  the  assessed  value 
bears  to  the  selling  value,  the  figures  given  having 
been  determined  by  a  critical  investigation  involving 
a  comparison  between  the  assessed  valuations  of  prop¬ 
erty  sold  and  the  considerations  received  at  such  sales. 
The  figures  for  both  real  and  personal  property  for 
most  cities  outside  of  these  three  states  are  far  from 
correct,  although  those  for  real  property  are  the  more 
trustworthy. 

Tax  rates. — The  rates  of  levy  for  general  property 
taxes  per  $1,000  of  assessed  valuation  and  per  $1,000 
of  reported  true  value  are  given  in  detail  for  the 
several  taxing  districts.  In  the  case  of  cities  in  which 
property  is  taxed  at  two  or  more  rates  the  figures 


shown  in  Table  29  represent  average  rates,  the  specific 
rates  of  levy  for  the  various  divisions  of  the  govern¬ 
ment  of  such  cities  being  given  in  Table  XXXII, 
which  follows.  The  rates  based  on  the  reported 
true  value  are  subject  to  all  the  errors  in  the 
estimates  given  in  the  column  headed  “  Reported 
basis  of  assessment  in  practice  (per  cent  of  true 
value).” 

Tax  levies. — Under  the  heading  “General  property 
taxes”  are  included  all  general  property  taxes  levied 
for  all  divisions  of  the  municipal  governments.  In 
certain  cases  the  result  obtained  by  applying  the  given 
rate  to  the  assessed  valuation  differs  from  the  amount 
of  levy  reported,  the  variation  being  due  to  some  one 
or  more  of  the  many  factors  affecting  the  tax  lists, 
such  as  the  addition  of  supplementary  tax  lists, 
changes  in  valuation,  and  the  abatement  of  taxes. 
These  variations  are  all  trifling,  however,  and  are 
referred  to  only  for  the  purpose  of  calling  attention  to 
the  complexity  of  the  data  relating  to  taxes  and  the 
difficulty  of  securing  accuracy  in  all  details. 

Special  methods  of  assessment  and  taxation. — The 
assessed  valuation  of  property  subject  to  general 
property  taxes  in  divisions  of  the  city  government 
having  two  or  more  rates  of  levy,  together  with  the 
specific  levies  in  the  different  districts  of  the  cities,  are 
given  in  Table  XXXII.  Table  XXXIII  similarly 
shows  the  assessed  valuation  subject  to  special 
property  taxes  and  the  specific  levies  for  cities  levy¬ 
ing  such  taxes  at  two  or  more  rates.  These  tables 
thus  show  for  each  city  the  assessed  valuations  of 
property  subject  to  different  rates  of  taxation,  to¬ 
gether  with  the  local  rates  and  the  amounts  of  taxes 
levied.

LEVIES  FOR  EACH  TAXING  DISTRICT  OR  CLASS  OF  PROPERTY:  1910. 


(Note. _ On  the  line  “City  corporation  proper"  in  this  table  are  shown  the  assessed  valuation  for  the  city  as  a  whole  together  with  the  rates  and  amount  of  tax  levied 

thereon  for  general  city  purposes  as  distinguished  from  the  valuation  and  levies  of  taxing  districts  including  only  a  part  of  the  city.]

other  half  to  the  taxing  district  in  which  the  mort¬ 
gaged  property  is  situated.  The  bank  tax  levy  for
